Role
Who you are
- We welcome applications from anyone great with numbers, who loves problem-solving and has 3-5 years of relevant experience
- We want someone with experience interrogating different data sources and tying the information to real-world dynamics to make meaningful contributions to our overall strategy
- The candidate would have experience in customer acquisition of US financial services across direct marketing or comparison sites, including in hosted models like Lightbox
- The candidate also needs experience in growth and conversion optimisation through experimentation

- Strong analytical mindset and use of statistical validity when comparing outcomes, with close attention to detail in nuanced problems
- Strong logical modelling and spreadsheet skills with experience in SQL and/or Python or similar
- Excitement about the opportunity to work in a real entrepreneurial environment and have a real impact on the business
What the job involves
- You’ll be working in a small, ambitious and fast-paced team of data-driven troubleshooters, not standard marketers, so this role is for thorough, self-reliant and curious applicants
- You will manage analytics and improvement of all credit card and unsecured loan acquisition channels; optimising them for volume, cost and credit quality
- Key to the role is preparing all kinds of different analyses; pulling out the most important insights to ensure we make good decisions in all areas
- You will combine quantitative and qualitative judgements to triage ideas and strategies; focusing our efforts on the key levers for growth
- You will then work with product and growth functions to deliver improvements in the journeys you are monitoring
- The role progression includes gradually owning the full responsibility for strategy and execution of specific partner projects, marketing efforts or product enhancements that deliver business growth, including Direct Mail campaigns
- We are responsible for the growth of all lending products, delivering projects via our price comparison site partnerships or directly into the market
- Most of the team is multifunctional and responsible for identifying and pulling the biggest available levers of growth either directly or by drawing on other teams
- We are expanding the team to increase the resources we can bring to scale our newest market: the United States
Our take
Lendable competes with banks, other marketplace lenders, and consumer finance companies to provide loans to consumers, small businesses, and property developers. Last year the UK marketplace lenders loaned £7.3bn in total.
Lendable believes it can win in this crowded field due to its market-best customer service and its strong financials. Unlike Zopa, RateSetter, or Lending Works, their funding comes from institutional investors.
It originates and services the loans on behalf of institutional investors, but does not hold them on its own balance sheet.
Growing insolvencies will worry all marketplace lending platforms, but Lendable looks well placed to weather any credit storm given their substantial debt financing.
